My daughter's favorite joke:
Her: Knock, knock!
Me: Who's there?
Her: Interrupting cow.
Me: Interrupting c-
Her: MOOOOOOOO!!!!!
It's cute with a five year old, in the context of a joke. But has interrupting become the norm now? I can't watch an interview, reality show or anything without escaping the rudeness. Celebrity Apprentice reinforced it with Melissa Rivers not letting anyone get a word in edgewise. But it's far more rampant than that. Watch Jon Stewart or Bill O'Reilly conduct an "interview" - Stewart especially. Which is a shame, because he's such a smart and observant guy. But LET YOUR GUESTS TALK, PEOPLE. Why have them on the show if they aren't allowed to say a damn word?
Sic my mother on them. You could buy stock in Ivory Soap for that.
